Their mission is to offer help, aid in restoring hope and dignity and provide compassionate care to those who are suffering or struggling to survive. Elena’s humanitarian aid projects encompass everything from major ongoing efforts such as helping orphans, seniors, disabled people, and feral dogs, cats, and shelters to special projects. These caring, charitable efforts have included providing hygiene products to 350 hard teenagers in prison, many of whom were formerly orphans like Elena. Other kindnesses have ranged from building a well for a family with six kids and no running water to providing cataract surgery and other medical treatments to needy individuals.
